Hi... i'm having a strange problem and i'm not sure exactly what it's called , but the topic is as close as i can relate it... Ok it seems i have certain things Bound to my F1-F12 Keys.. So whenever i hit F1 or F2 etc.. on my Desktop it brings up some Help and Support thing for my PC or a Windows XP HE Support thing for my PC... i don't have a problem with it, but you see i'm a gamer and everytime i'm in game i click my F1 button to check the score but it seems everytime i do that it knocks me out of game and brings that crap up now... this is the first time this has happened to me so i'm not sure how to get rid of it... it's like a big popup i can't get rid of in a way... Any Suggestions or Help would be appreciated..

It's very very weird. I too have these function bound to F1-F2 keys, but when I press those keys while playing no MS crappy help windows pop up (thanks god). Try this: Go to command line in Start menu and type in "services.mcs". Locate line that says "Help and support", double click on it and set start up type to "disabled". Thus you will disable Windows Help altogether. try it, it might help.

Oops, my bad! Type in "services.msc"

Hey VaN thnx for the help i appreciate it man... Well it seems i got that problem taken care of, but.... for some reason it still doing it, but it's something a little different now... instead of bringing up Help & Support for my PC.. It Brings up 'Windows XP Home Edition Help' Now... I don't know if this relates to Help & Support or if theres a way to turn it off within the same Help & Support Service cause i don't see it in the services List at all.. Think you could help me with this one buddy?

Maybe if you create a shortcut on your desktop, then assign like f1 to be the shortcut key then delete the icon, it'll free up that register for the f1 key... if it works, you should do it to all ur "F" keys...

Make a shortcut of what? and how would i bind F1 too it exactly?
